Interesting parallel since supernatural was also supposed to be 5 seasons with the narrative arc all neatly wrapped up. Then they changed their mind and dragged the dead body of the show against the pavement for another 10 seasons.
I mean I get you but supernatural did a surprisingly good job of it. I kept watching till the end. Granted I was a bit disapointed the characters had not all died in season one. I was sorta hoping initially it would be brutal and the main characters would be different every season. Bit like walking dead.
Don't get me wrong, I watched every single episode (multiple times) but compared to the first 5 it was like eating fast food. Enjoyable but left you wondering if leviathans spiked the HFCS.
yeah it definately lost a step over time but it was a bit like the simpsons and still was better than many alternatives. I would rank the later seasons of supernatural vs the majority of stuff just spewed out to fill content for the streaming services. Some of the late season making fun of itself stuff was funny to. I still remember where the nerdy hunter is driving listening to bev biv devo
I guess they just didn't have the heart to quit.
Pretty sure kripke only wrote the first 5.
The first 5 seasons were the strongest but it wasn't outright bad until pretty close to the end.
